    I think Ortiz would make it rough enough to maybe get Khan out of there...

    So you think Ortiz could walk through Bertos shots but not Khan's? I can remember him Tko'n paulie but paulie could have finished as he was clearly not "hurt" (good stoppage though), and Zab quitting last night, other than that when has he shown this awesome power that would stop Ortiz?

    How many punches did Zab throw in that fight? How many times was he first in exchanges? He did not look to pressure Khan, or bring the fight to him in any way. He looked to counter him. Roach had Khan ready for this. He stayed on the outside, for the most part, and used his significant height and reach advantages over Judah.

    Ortiz is comparable in height and reach to Khan. He punches harder than Khan does, and can apply the type of pressure that will have Khan on his backfoot, for much of the fight. He has the type of power that Khan will have to respect.

    Berto is not garbage...not sure where you are getting that from.

    Ortiz will come into that fight around 165 on fight night I think he would be too strong for Amir to keep off him 147 at 140 I got Amir because that is his proper fighting but you can tell 147 is Ortiz

    Khan is really in the same boat as Ortiz, Khan's body wants to move up aswell, and I think Khan's power would improve at that weight.

    Roach has even come out and said over scene that Khan is having little trouble making 140.

    I think if Khan can box for 12 like he did with Judah use that jab to the body and head and not get caught up in an exchange with Ortiz i can see him winning a UD.

    Ortiz i dont believe can handle Khan's speed in the middle of the ring.

    If Khan can just avoid a big shot from Ortiz i think he will be just fine but if he gets caught with a bomb or too we could see a different outcome. I think if Ortiz lands a bomb i think Khan may shell up a little and Ortiz would gain confidence and could turn the fight into a close decision for either fighter or he may just get the KO/TKO.

    Its a intresting fight and should be a must see when Khan goes up to 147. Khan has the body for 147.

    Khan will finish off the damaged goods after Mayweather gives him a 12 round sustained beating.

    I would say Khan probably by decision. Khan has all the talent in the world and it will be really interesting to see how far he can go.
